Oral Cavity & Jaw Reconstruction Surgery in Bangalore

Oral cavity and jaw reconstruction surgery in Bangalore by Dr. Dharmesh JB

Cancer of the oral cavity, tongue, or jaw often requires extensive surgical removal of diseased tissue. While life-saving, these procedures can significantly affect speech, swallowing, chewing, facial appearance, and quality of life. At Dr. Dharmesh JB’s Reconstructive & Microsurgery Clinic, we specialize in oral cavity and jaw reconstruction in Bangalore, helping patients regain essential functions and facial form after cancer surgery.

Using advanced free flap and regional flap reconstruction techniques, Dr. Dharmesh JB restores complex defects of the tongue, oral cavity, and mandible. Each reconstruction is carefully planned to achieve optimal functional recovery, aesthetic balance, and long-term durability.

Conditions Requiring Oral & Jaw Reconstruction

Oral cancer defects: Tissue loss after cancer removal from the tongue, floor of mouth, or cheeks.
Mandibular (jaw) defects: Partial or complete jaw loss following tumor excision.
Post-radiation tissue damage: Non-healing wounds or fibrosis affecting oral function.
Traumatic oral and jaw defects: Loss of bone or soft tissue due to injury.
Complex oral cavity defects: Requiring both soft tissue and bony reconstruction.

Reconstructive Options We Offer

Reconstruction is individualized based on defect size, location, and functional requirements. Our surgical options include:

Free Flap Reconstruction: Microsurgical transfer of tissue (skin, muscle, or bone) from distant sites to reconstruct the tongue, oral cavity, or jaw.
Regional Flap Reconstruction: Use of nearby tissue with its own blood supply for selected oral and facial defects.
Mandibular Reconstruction: Restoration of jaw continuity and strength to support speech, chewing, and facial symmetry.
Functional Tongue Reconstruction: Aiming to restore swallowing and speech clarity after cancer excision.
Staged Reconstruction: Planned multi-step procedures for complex or large defects.

When Should Reconstruction Be Planned?

Oral cavity and jaw reconstruction is often planned at the same time as cancer removal to reduce complications and speed up recovery. Early reconstruction improves speech, swallowing, nutrition, and overall quality of life after cancer treatment.

Our Treatment Approach

Every patient undergoes detailed evaluation including imaging and multidisciplinary planning. Reconstruction is performed using microsurgical precision to restore blood supply, tissue volume, and structural support. Post-surgery, patients are guided through rehabilitation involving speech therapy, swallowing training, and nutritional support.
